Not Ready to Unite.

PHILADELPHIA, May 27.-In the
general assembly of the United Presby-
terian church of North America the
fraternal salutation of the Associated
Reformed synod of the South, Rev. ]. G..
Galloway, of the Associate Reformed
church, South, was introduced and ad-
dressed the assembly. he conveyed the
Christian salutations of the synod of the
South to the assembly. The course for
him to pursue was one of the utmost
candor and frankness. The Associate
Reformed church has rejected the basis
of union, and the reasons, as he con.
ceived, for doing 30 were two. The first
was the agitation in the United Presby.
terian church over the organ question /;
aud second, from the opposition of a
respectable minority to the fourteenth
article in the testimony of the United
Presbyterian church. The Associate
Reformed church wishes to wait until
the organ question is settled in peace
full way. A large portion of the Associ.
ate Reformed church considers the
introduction of an organ as fatal to
congregational singing. The Associate
Reformed church does not wish to restore
slavery. There is not a man who does
not heartily rejoice that the incubus Of
slavery is destroyed, never to return.
[Applause. The opposition comes from
old people, those of ante.bellum times.
The old live in the past, but after all,
their opposition is more that of chival.
rous sentiment than otherwise. We feel,
said Mr.. Galloway, that We ought to
regard the feelings of those old people,
and not outrage their convictions and
drive them from our communion. When
the year 1900 shall have arrived, slavery
will be almost memory. l was born
and raised in South Carolina. The new
South has no leaning toward slavery.
Why cannot we rest as basis of union
on the cordial acceptance of the West
minister confession and Catachism as his
torically interpreted. He trusted the
day was not far distant when the two
churches shall be- organically what they
are spiritually-one.: The moderator
responded to the greetings Of Mr.. Gallo.
way, and said it would be we'll that there
should be no indiscrirlinate haste
relative to instrumental music. With
regard to article in testimony of united
Presbyterian church, it is record of the
church. He trusted that over the two
churches there would he soon one banner,
with words written over it: "The United
Presbyterian Church of North America"
We can 20 on and do our work until
God in bis own good time brings about
organic union. ~.

sixteen Hundred Horses Burned.

New YoRK, May 27.-Flames broke
out at half:past / O'Clock this morning
in the south end Of the Belt Line stables,
on 10th avenue, between SD and o4th
streets. The building was entirely de.
stroyed, with 1.6O0 horses and nearly all
the cars in the building. The flames
were first seen by one of the night hands,
who eaye the alarm. The flames spread
rapidly and soon completely envelop,ed
the building in their folds. The build,
ing was five.story structure and covered
{ square block, reaching back to llth
avenue. The upper stories were occupied
by the repair shops and combushble ma:
terial, which blazed as soon as touched
by the fire. The Offices were situated IN
the southeast corner. They were IN
flames so quickly that there was no
chance to save the books of thercompany;;
In the stables were over sixteen hundred
horses and several hundred cars. Only
ten horses and two cars were saved, the
rest were all burned up. At two o'clock
this morning the walls of the building
fell in with terrible crash, sending mil:
lions of sparks and blazing pieces OF
wood high in the air. The fire alarm of
the three sixes had been made as soon as
the fire chief arrived at the scene, and
engines from all parts of the city with
water tower and hook and ladder COM
panies we're rapidly coming. The heat
from the flaming building was 30 great
that several fremen and two policemen
were prostrated.

a very interesting discovery that a
plant well known in India, which is en-.
tirely harmless, destroys the power of
tasting sugar, has been recently published
in Nature by Professor Thistleton Dyer.
The plant is the gymnema. sylvestre,
growing widely in the Deccan Peninsula,
and also met with in Assam and on che
Coromaudel coast. A late Governor Of
Madras and other residents of India who
have tested the properties of this plant
certify that chewing two or three leaves
Of it absolutely abolisheS the tongues
power To taste sweetness. Professor
Dyer's experiments with leaves sent to
him at Kew, in England, corroborates
their testimony. This plant is likely to
prove q most valuable addition to modern
materia medica. Its power to destroy
the taste of sweetness suggests its use by
physicians to correct morbid craving for
swsetmeats, which is source of vide:
spread disorders Of digestion. General
Ellea, of Madras, Ia reported as having
found that gymnema abolishes i'the
power of enjoying 9 cigar" While
smokers may not relish this, physioians
NAV prize immensely q plant which, ad.
ministered to patients who use tobacco
to excess, would for time, at least,
check inordinate smoking. The power
of the plant to render tasteles9 many
drugs which are extremely nauseous
promises to commend it to the medical
profession.

Good Bye BIackwood.

The hearing in the case of Blackwuod.
who needs no introduction to the readers
of South Carolins or Georgia papers,
took place yesterday before Governor
Richardson at the executive office.
John Gary Evans, Esq, of Aiken
appeared, representing T. A. Blackwood,
for whom the Governor of Georgia has
duly issued requisition. The State of
Georgia was not represented. Attorney
General Earle was present, but took no
active part in the proceedings.
Mr.. Evans produced the warrant issued
by Trial Justice j. D. Weeks of Aiken,
founded upon the affidavit of F. NJ.
Nixon, charging Blackwood with having
committed AIN aggravated assault upon
one Henry Morris of Aiken County, in
November, 1886. He also showed the
return of the constable, setting forth the
due arrest of Blackwood, and presented
also the paper committing him to Jail.
Mr.. Evans took the position that
Blackwood should be held to respond to
the charge of crime against the laws OF
South Carolina, the requisition to be
LuCduI1ulO E1uQSOA : Nlel tuO SdOAiA ".
Aiken County, and after Blackwood
shall have answered in our court, to be
enforced by his surrender to the Georgia
authorities. He maintained that 1t was
the duty of the Governor to have Black.
wood held to answer for the crime done
in this State, while it is in his discretion
to deliver him in response to the requisi.
tion.
No reply was made to Mr.. Evans and
Governor Richardson took the matter
under advisement. After consultation
with Attorney General Earle the Cover
nor reached the decision to honor the
requisition of Governor Gordon and 8
mandate was issued for the delivery oi
Blackwood to the proper officers from
Georgia.
1t was later learned from an unofficial
but thoroughly reliable source that it was
the intention of Mr.. Evans, Blackwood'f
counsel, to attempt to prevent or delay
the return Of his client by securing q
writ of habeas corpus Columbia Register

The Presbyterian Chasm.

ST.. LOUIS, May 26.-The attention Of
the General Assembly of the Southern
Presbyterians was entirely occupied to-.
day by discorrses on the. advisability of
organic union with the Northern Church.
The Rev. J. M: p. OTIS strongly advoca.
ted union just as soon as it can be
accomplished !; on terms and conditions
safe and honorable to both sides. The
animosities engendered by the war
should be over. Episcopalians and Bap-
lists bad united with their Northern
brethren, and now was the time for
Presbyterians to do likewise. Northern
Presby.erians were drifting into South.
ern territory, building churches, estab.
fishing missions and becoming part of
South. Many people had united with
the Congregational Church because they
believed the Presbyterian Church of the
South was a church of sectionnlism. 1t
was time that Presbyterians were forget
ting the quarrels of the past and issues
that were dead.
The Rev. G. K. Vaughan, of Le1ing.
ton, Va, spoke against the majority
report. He thought the Church could
not change its relations as quickly as
business men and politicians. There
we're three different religious differences
between Northern and Southern
churches doctrine, viz, creed, principle
aud ecclesiastical policy. The speaker
was opposed to allowing such wide lati'
tude to women as in the Northern
chorches. He laid particular stress upon
the color line, and, after time, he said,
you will see an elegant black gentleman
offer his arm to your white girl and she
will accept it. The people from Fir.
ginia to the Gulf will not have their.
relations with the colored race decided
by the Northern Church. The Church
must teach that slavery was moral
relation, not necessarily q civil institu.
ton. He would as much expect to
revive slavery in the days of Ramasees
as now. If it was in his power to revive
slavery now, he would not do so. He
advised the Assembly to be careful and
60 slow.
= The Rev. B. NJ. Palmer, of New Or
leans, revived the issues of the war, and
bitterly arraigned the Northern Church
for what he called "ejectment" in 1861,
and followed it with inaammatory
denunciation, bringing in the color line
and saying that that was the cause of
the split in 1861, and was the cause of
dissension now.
ST.. LOUIS, May. 27.-The General
Assembly Of the Southern Presbyterian
Church, after two days discussion,
adopted q resolution offered by DR.. Hoge,
of North Carolina, which was really q
MINORITY saIus,' report au on organic union that
committee ba appointed to confer with
committee of the Northern church to
ascertain the sentiment of the latter in
connection with ecclesiastical boards and
colored churches, and other subjects of
the two churches as might be deemed
necessary. The vote stood 81 for, and
SO against the resolution.

I = An Albany newspaper tells of a
well.todo, but very careful gentleman
who recently told friend in good faith
that be had discovered how to save on
his butter bills. "Just spread your bread
with butter," said he; "then scrape it
off as closely as you can, and hold the
buttered side down when you eat it.
Your tongue strikes the butter at once,
and you get just as much flavor as if you
had three times as much butter and ate
it the other way"

Thursday, and all trace of him is lost.
He was employed in the laundry on Troy
shirts. When a box of goods was packed
for shipment to that city he secreted

and loaded into the car. He cut his way
out with small saw and ehisel, leaving
his prison clothes behind on the car floor
He was not seen to leave the car, and a
good deal of mystery surround not only
his escape, but also the way in which he
obtained his citizens outfit. Stewartwa

= From the Guntersville Democrat,
published in, Marshall county, Ala, we
learn of the horrible death of man.
Samuel Scott, son of Mr.. Richard Scott,
was working in field near his fathers
house. Becoming thirsty he went to a
spring close at hand and lay down to
drink. Just in the act of slipping the
cooling draught the ominous hum of q
rattlesnake rang out on the air, and be-.
fore the poor boy could rise to his feet
the deadly fangs of the serpent were
fastened in his face. Not until he had
risen could he tear away the venomous
reptile and stamp it to death with his
feet: After this was done he ran to his
father, q short distance away, before
fainting. They took the poor fellow
home and sent for physicians who came,
but arrived too late to save the life Of the
brave boy. His death ensued eight hours
after being bitten.
- On last Monday evening it was an.
nounced upon our streets that the body
of dead man was lying in the Baptist
churchyard. Immediately upon the re.
ception of this information the entire
police force with lanterns in hand head
ed procession of terrified citizens and
proceeded to the scene where the dead
body was reported to be lying. The
closest kind OF search was made for the
body but without avail. Our policemen
realized that they had been badly hoaxed,
upon the suggestion of some one present
that perhaps the dead body reported to
be lying in this yard was several feet
under ground. The originator of this
huge Joke cannot plume himself upon the

With scarcely q dissenting voice they
adopted a resolution endorsing the con.
stitulional amendment and pledging
their support to it. The Knoxville Jour:
nal says: Gan overwhelming majority
of the farmers present will vote for the
amendment next September. We take
it that they reflect public opinion on the
subject throughout this section, and if
that be true 1t may be set down as fact
that East Tennessee will give large
majority for the amendment"
